A narrow, slanted handwritten style with brush-pen construction and visible texture throughout the strokes. Letterforms show lively rhythm and uneven stroke edges, with tapered entries/exits and occasional ink pooling that thickens terminals. Shapes are simplified and open, with a compact body and tall ascenders/descenders that give lines a vertical, agile feel. Spacing and widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an informal, hand-drawn cadence.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a handmade, slightly distressed tone is desirable—such as posters, event promos, product packaging, album/cover art, and social media graphics. It can also suit pull quotes or labels, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The font conveys a quick, personal note-like energy with a slightly gritty edge, as if written with a dry brush or marker on absorbent paper. It feels approachable and human, but with enough roughness to suggest street, DIY, or worn print character.
The design appears intended to mimic fast brush lettering with natural variation and imperfect edges, balancing readability with expressive texture for theme-driven display settings.
Uppercase forms remain legible while retaining hand-drawn irregularities, and the lowercase has a sketchy, loosely cursive flavor without fully connecting. Numerals share the same textured stroke behavior and slant, keeping the overall voice consistent across alphanumerics.
